Misty ....

10th July 2021 (Saturday)    09.00 .... It’s misty this morning but not a heavy


‘Scotch Mist’ mist;  I could go out on the bike in this..... in fact, if it stays this way, I will go out on the bike.    I’ve been for the paper (in the car ‘cos I was in need of milk), then went to the beach for a walk after I got back.    The sun should burn off the haar, to give us a warm sunny day:  it’s warm as it is, with only a light breeze from the East.





15.30    Stage 14 of le Tour, which is a hilly stage, and exciting;   I’ve had to come it to see what’s happening so often, that I have decided to watch it through to the end.... and ‘work’ tomorrow;   .... but ... that is another hilly Stage, so maybe I’ll leave the ‘work’ until the ‘rest day’.

We’re having a nice day here.... mostly sunny and warm.    This is a changeover day for the letting houses so Ferry Road has been busy,.... it usually quietens down at evening time.... when I might get the bike out.


21.00   This has been an unintended rest day for me;  all because today’s stage of le Tour was hilly and exciting.   Stage 15 (tomorrow) is another hilly stage, with harder climbs than today, so guess what;   tomorrow will most likely end up another rest day for me;   but I have been filling the ‘broon’ bucket with weeds and the clippings from stuff I have been cutting back:   so not an entirely lazy day.   Bike racing and the Six Nations (Rugby) are the only two sports that I really watch;  I did watch Scotland in the ‘Euros’.... but that was short lived.

My ‘plan’ for tomorrow?.... well I have until 11.00 when Stage 15 starts; it’s on for 5¼ hours – nearly an hour and half of that time will be adverts, which I never watch .... I can drink a load of cuppas.... or even do a fair bit of work during the ‘advertising’ time.   If everybody only bought what they actually needed, and nothing that the advertisers want them to need Planet Earth would healthier.... and so would I.   That said I don’t buy very much in the way of ‘goodies’ now;  though I do love cherries .... wrapped in cake mix! They can be bought in the ‘paper shop’.... the cherries are one of my ‘five a day’:  a scrumptious and vital necessity.

Light rain showers and a gentle breeze is the forecast for KY9 tomorrow;  a nice enough


day but not the kind of days we should be having at this time of year.   When I was on the beach this morning I saw committee of migrating terns .... heading south.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
